Signs you need bath repair in East Combe
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders

Bath repair at your home in East Combe
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in East Combe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in East Combe
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
FAQs for East Combe
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Somerset.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA4 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
